Now thats a wealth of knowledge!!!!That ROBIN and friengd Have to see

Try this:

Go to Start, then Run and type the following command:

regsvr32 urlmon.dll

The same thing was happening to me on an HP running XPhome that I was forced to use at work.

I'd try to put something on eBay and get a preview using IE6 with ALL the Service Packs installed, and the new window was blank AND I couldn't upload a single picture attachment - made my job very tough.

I knew that this particular system was riddled with a Netscape/AOL conspiracy that gave me other IE6 problems described elsewhere in the Forums.

I spent a whole day trying to figure out what to do. The XP came with NS7 and AOL and IE6. I Settings>Add/Removed NS7 and AOL against the machine's wishes and got my IE6 to behave as I expected it to.

I'm a novice. I don't know the meaning of what I did in terms of Run: stuff and .exe stuff and registry whatnots. The result was favorable however. I was able to see new windows in IE6 and upload pictures in eBay and that's all I was expected to do at my job.

Unless you are advised not to, uninstall NS7 and AOL stuff the proper way from your XP. I'm almost 100% certain you will find a happy and obliging IE6 after a reboot.

ps - I've since put up such a fuss at work that they let me build my own machine from the ground, up that runs 2000NT.

I, too, am getting a blank window when I right click + open, and also when I click a link. I clicked Big "B" Affleck's MOZILLA link (above) and got a blank popup window. This started about a week ago, otherwise I've been using IE6 on Win2000 for years with no problems. The only thing I've installed recently is a Windows Update, and I don't have NS or any other browser installed.

In some cases, deleting the internet temp files will help

Close all open applications and then open a command prompt (to do this select Run from the Start menu) and in the Open: box type:

regsvr32 /s urlmon.dll

You don't have to restart the computer afterwards.
